Conseils sur la ville

Déplacements

Train ride from Dover Priory to Canterbury or Margate

Great way to relax and enjoy a drink on the train and take in the Kent Countryside views
Réservez avant de partir

Our nearest pub. The Marquis of Granby...5 minute drive.

2023: Best pub in Kent - The National Pub & Bar Awards Beautifully decorated. Great selection of booze. Fabulous freshly cooked food. Advise you book in advance to avoid disappointment
Que faut-il apporter?

Each of our 3 properties has either a hot tub or sauna..

Don't forget your.. Bathing suit / Bathrobe / Flipflops. Beach shoes - Sunny Sands in Folkestone is good but can get crowded. There are less crowded beaches in Sandgate and Dover
Que faut-il apporter?

Autumn Winter..

Bring wind proof gear: coat, hat, scarf, suitable footwear so you don’t miss out if weather turns.
